This book is about a family that lost a member during the 9/11 attacks. While trying to move forward with her life, Natasha finds herself attracted to her late husband's stepbrother Jared. Jared left New York shortly after 9/11 because he was attracted to her also. When they meet again four years later he realizes that he still wants her. This book is so painfully slow that it took the author 80 pages to get this far. I've read four other books since starting this one and still can't read it long enough get through the wishy-washy main characters that continue to deny what they feel for each other, but sulk like two year olds when they "imagine" the other with someone else. The pace may eventually pick up, though I can't imagine it. : )

Hi Bettye

I finished reading One on One last night and I have to say that this is a great book. I love Jared character. I am so glad that Natasha finally decided it was time for her to be happy. We all understand what Natasha was going through trying to re-build her life after 9-11 and I am glad she had family around. I love a good strong, caring & loving man and that is the type of man Jared is.

Good job. I am hoping Kirk will have a story next.

Thanks

I agree this story is slow and boring but has a great premise - what a shame the premise was wasted with this story. Both the main characters act like kids rather than adults who know what they want and go for it but allow what they think is others view of their relationship to influence their decisions. When you give people so much power over your life one is bound to be unhappy. Also I get fed up of characters not communicating and making silly assumptions about the others feeling - I suppose immature people act like that in real life.

I just wasn't feeling this book. The storyline was a bore, the chapters were too long to get to the point, and I felt no chemistry between Natasha and Jared. The only characters with some spunk were Corey, Tara and Cliff. The other characters were too sugary and sappy for me. Hopefully Ms. Griffin's next book will be better.
